[Elecraft] : OT: Legendary Elecraft Service - not!

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Actually he's been on the list as far back as 2004, though not all that
common a poster.  His current (May '11) QRZ blurb shows him as a K2 owner,
into using it as a data modes platform.

He did go through the ZL earthquake earlier this year. There was some text
that hinted at losing employment because of it.  Who knows what his issue is
or whether he was having a really, really bad day.  I think a clue is
canning his long standing email address.  I think it very unlikely he dumped
a longstanding email address in a "fit of petulance" as one person put it.
 It smells more like life-altering circumstances in his personal life, and
as such I'll just leave that to him, and depart from the matter with one of
these 85-90% hunches that he was having a really, really bad day.  Perhaps
something so bad as losing internet access due to economic issues.

As a software development manager in a past life, I've been on the RX end of
customer outbursts that really reflected customers' quite difficult non-work
circumstances, which finally explained very confusing and unfocused
complaints which could not be worked to resolution at any level in tech
support.  I'm sure that's happened to anyone working with customers long
enough, which is why one needs to have the bartender's tender ear.

And I'll hope to hear from Paul again in better times.

73, Guy.
